Welsh nuts: the one where Gareth schools Larissa on wrestling

Welsh nuts: the one where Gareth schools Larissa on wrestling

Author: Brazil Nuts June 5, 2020 Duration: 37:43

Hi, friends! Sorry we're a little bit late, but here it is, fresh from the oven, our brand new episode!


And things are bit different for this one: Gareth takes the lead and talks wrestling and Donald Trump and, once again, makes Larissa say something she never would and now it's recorded for the whole world to hear (well, that part is pretty standard, isn't it?).  Careful listening around kiddies. Although there's nothing Welsh about the topic, Gareth remains quite Welsh, thus the title for this role reversal episode, in lieu of our regular Nut of Knowledge. Have fun and thanks for listening!


Larissa and Gareth would like to thank Uoster Zielinski for the graphic design. They would also like to thank the essential workers and protesters out there, making this world slightly less awful.


This episode is dedicated to Luís Fernando Vale Gomes, who would've loved this story, but never got to hear it - shine on, you crazy diamond.


Brazil Nuts: an insane journey through the world of Brazilian politics is a weekly exploration of the forces that have shaped, and continue to shake, the nation. Hosts Larissa and Gareth guide you through a landscape where triumph and tragedy are inseparable, finding the compelling stories within the chaos. Each episode connects the dots between past and present, examining how events like the 1970 World Cup victory or the long, complex process of abolition resonate in today's political climate. This isn't just a history lesson; it's an ongoing conversation about power, identity, and the sheer unpredictability of life in South America's largest country. You'll hear analysis that makes sense of the headlines by understanding the deep cultural and historical currents beneath them. The podcast thrives on the specific details-the bizarre scandals, the beautiful acts of resilience, and the bad policy decisions-that collectively tell a bigger story. Tune in for a perspective that is as informed as it is engaging, offering clarity on a subject that defies simple explanation. The journey is indeed insane, but it's one that makes the fascinating complexity of Brazil accessible, episode by episode.
